Members of the majority in the Tbilisi City Assembly (Sakrebulo) released a statement in support of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Sakrebulo Chairman Giorgi Tkemeladze read the text, saying the statement would be sent to the Kyiv City Council.

Members of the Tbilisi City Assembly stated they remain committed to the international order based on international law principles of inviolability of borders and territorial integrity.

“We express our deep concern over the current developments around Ukraine, which poses new threats not only to Ukraine but also to regional peace and security. We condemn any intent that may be directed against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign state. Hereby, we note that membership of military-political alliance is the right of a sovereign state and any limitation to this right is categorically unacceptable,” reads the statement.

Part of the opposition parties rebuffed the text and refused to sign it.
